Located by La Grande Orange, at the intersection of 40th and Campbell Streets, Jaimee Rose Interiors is paying tribute to the Arcadia neighborhood. “Let’s hear it for local love,” says founder and principal of the eponymous design firm. “We are proud to introduce our salute to this charming place we call home with a fun and cheeky wallpaper guaranteed to garner smiles.”

Created with local artist Amy Crist, the custom wallpaper features charming drawings of beloved Arcadia icons, businesses and landmarks. The stylized sketches include local eateries Postino WineCafé, the Tee Pee Tap Room, Tarbell’s and The Henry as well as other neighborhood faves Camelback Flowershop and The Village. Illustrations of bicycles, a flamingo pool float and a champagne bucket are reminiscent of area activities. To capture local vistas, cacti and a silhouette of Camelback Mountain are depicted throughout.

A firm believer that one’s home should feel personal, Rose explains, “I started thinking about all the places we see each other, the places we meet up, the local business owners we support and have an emotional connection to. They’re the background of our life. We celebrate birthdays at The Henry. We survive Mondays by meeting friends for bruschetta at Postino. I wanted to spin all these moments and memories into something that can also be the background of our homes–in a very fun way, of course.”

A single roll is 18′ x 24″, covers 36 square feet and includes a half-inch overhang on each side for easy overlapped trimming. It is printed on the best quality non pre-pasted paper and priced at $195 per roll, including shipping.
